It is a long time for a new application. What is your immigration history ? Where is your funding from ?

But nevertheless, there is not much that you can do. Yes, you can have your MP write again and keep sending HO letters - but other than that not much that you can do.

Dear Marcnath,
Thank for your reply.
I applied in feb18 and got refused because i missed one document and then again applied on 3rd June from Graduate Ent to Tier1 Ent. I got my own fund and my sister gave some fund as she is working as Post doc which i have joint account with her personal account. the money is in Business bank account 50 k which is untouched for past more than 1 year. I am not allowed to work and do Business as i am on Immigration Bail so i am really stressed as i am wasting all my time doing nothing and i have lots of debt also. :(

Sorry to hear about the situation. But there is very little you can do other than already discussed.

Of course, nothing stops you from continuing your business - you just can't be on the payroll. You can use the money in your business - you don't have to leave it untouched.

But i cannot work for my business? so how do i continue i do not have employee and i am scared if i invest money and they will refuse then i will be in big loss. I will wait till this month and then Request MP to again write the letter. DO you think if i go to Solicitor and he write to H/O will it make any difference?

You can work for your business, you can employ people, etc as a Director of the business. You just can't be on the payroll.

You can try getting a solicitor to send a PAP. There was at least one case here where someone did that and got a decision soon after - but it is very difficult to say if that was the reason. Unfortunately, you don't really have any legal grounds and I am sure HO knows that well. But you may have some humanitarian grounds.

PAP is pre action protocol - talk to a solicitor about it.

But here is another case where a solicitor letter did not help at all. So it is not clear at all whether there is anything you can do other than wait.
